transferred at the last conference from
Smyrna, where they had resided tor three
years, to North East

out going amiss. Mrs. Qnigs as lady of
culture, experience and adaptability to
the responsible and exacting position OF
minister's wife, did her part we'll in the
double duty of loyalty to her husband
and devotion to the church.
OF Miss Grace, always bright and cheer
full and obliging it would be hard to IN
agine any one more ready to work where
ever and whenever needed, and SO eff
cient withal. and Miss Sue-well. if Just
emerging from the school girl period ere
the roseate hues have blended and shaded
with the more sombre tints of life. there
is that ebulition OF joyous vitality, THAI
innocent flow of spirits that can no more
be suppressed than the May bird car
suppress it's song. there was that which
won friends on every side and made her,
as with her sister, a large sharer Of pub

Death Of an Old Citizen.

Mr.. William Tyson, one of the oldest
residents of the vicinity of Elkton, died
on Wednesday morning at his home
about two miles west of Elkton. Mr..
Tyson was in his S4th year. We believe
he spent all of his long life in Cecil
county and in this vicinity. For long
years he used to dig the graves to hold
the remains of the departed, and saw
wood to keep the living comfortable.
Mr.. Tyson was also formerly connected
with the press, in an humble, but no less
useful position, away back in the days
of Palmer Ricketts,, before the present
proprietor changed the motive power of
his press from hand 70 steam, he turned
the old-iashioned press that was then
used in the publication of The WING.
Mr. Tyson was industrious and led a
simple and upright life. 1t was not un-
til number of years after the war that
he took his first ride behind a locomo.
tive. Mr.. Tyson by his hard labor sue
ceeded in accommodating sufficient
amount of money to purchase a small
tract Of land about two miles from town,
and erected comfortable house thereon.
He kept his health and strength we'll,
and his ueath was sudden and unex-
pected. Within a few weeks of his
death he walked in aud out of town from
his home. He was also able to do hard
work, and had been employed in the har-
vest field in recent years. In con-
versation with the writer only several
weeks since he told of a heavy snow
storm which prevailed 81 years ago, on
April 18th. lie was employed at a fish
ing shore at the time. The snow was
knee deep, and remained on the ground
long enough tor people to visit the fish
ing shore in sleighs. The snow was fol-
lowed in a day or two by cyclone, and
several fishing men who we're out in
boaus were not able to reach the shore
and ware 1rnu nai

/ can say further that my case Is not an
isolated one. A lady, a customer OF mine, was
suffering from cancerous affection OF the

and time running to Philadelphia to consult
the best physicians there, but could get but
little or no relief. About u year ago told her
of my case, and induced her to try the s. s. s.
remedy. She did so, and in a. few weeks was
much better She had several operations per-
formed, but finally she threw all aside but tho
S. 8. s., and in two months from that time was
thoroughly cured.
Another lady suffering from m absoess on
her arm had been doctorlng for long time In
this city, Chester, and Philadelphia, but could
not get any relief, apparently. She had fallen
away to mere shadow OF her former self, aud
could scarcely eat or sleep. She commenced

duced In flesh that she had little stomach
